The Signpost: 03 July 2013

Amy Chozick's profile of Jimmy Wales in the New York Times sparked significant controversy in international news outlets this week. Chozick's profile covered Wales's personal life, including his 12-year-old daughter, ex-wife, and current wife Kate Garvey, describing Wales himself as "a well-groomed version of a person who has been slumped over a computer drinking Yoo-hoo for hours." Chozick described his current role in Wikipedia as "Benevolent Dictator for Life", a statement which garnered conflict from all corners of the web, including from Wales, who responded to the piece as a whole with a lengthy talk page statement.
Four articles, four lists, and fifteen pictures were promoted to "featured" status on the English Wikipedia last week.
This week, the Signpost went to the kennel and interviewed WikiProject Dogs. The project has several featured and good articles, along with a large number of "Did you know" entries. We asked three project members about the challenges of creating, curating, and maintaining canine content in an increasingly dog-obsessed world.
The key annual event in the Wikimedia calendar, Wikimania 2013, will be held in Hong Kong in just five weeks' time. Among the events will be a presentation by two people who are working to promote the development of medical content on Wikimedia projects. One is James Heilman of Wiki Project Med, a non-profit dedicated to making "clear, reliable, comprehensive, up-to-date educational resources and information in the biomedical and related social sciences freely available to all people in the language of their choice". The other is Lori Thicke, president of Translators Without Borders (TWB), the Connecticut-based organisation set up in 2010 to provide pro-bono translation services for humanitarian non-profits
Current discussions on the English Wikipedia include...
The VisualEditor extension has gone live by default to registered users on the English Wikipedia, marking a huge milestone in a project that has taken the best part of a decade to reach fruition. The extension was previously described as "the biggest and most important change to our user experience we’ve ever undertaken" by the WMF team behind it.
The real world made a strong showing in the top 10 last week, as news stories such as Yahoo!'s purchase of Tumblr, the murder of Odin Lloyd, the continuing drama over NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and the ill-health of Nelson Mandela crowded out the usual roster of TV shows, movies, websites and video games. Not that they were entirely excluded, of course.
Following a one-month period of moderated discussion, Tea Party movement has been reopened by the Committee. The proposed decisions are currently being voted upon. Race and politics remains suspended pending the return of User:Apostle12.

What do you think about this categorical name?

Do you think "Recognised" is appropriate to describe English on the info-box for Brunei's Wikipedia article? SirAlexOreo (talk) 01:43, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Well, the source I've looked up (this comes from the Brunei embassy in the U.S. says that English is 'widely spoken and understood' the source is here. Another source I saw said that it 'widely spoken'. English is recognised by the government as a language as many of their documents are bilingual (English and Malay). I'm going to find more solid sources for this. We could, however, open up a discussion at the talk page if you see it necessary. Hallows Aktiengesellschaft (talk) 01:58, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Any other reasons that it's a recognised or recognized language? 41.130.23.41 (talk) 13:25, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
All laws are billingual. The government uses English in their broadcasting system. There is some more reasons. It depends on your viewpoint of 'recognised', though. Regards, Hallows Aktiengesellschaft (talk) 01:48, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

He deletes everything i say!!! you 2 AND he's a teahouse host, talk to him now! Hulkster1 (talk) 01:18, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk to who? Who are you referring to? And I don't really think this is constructive. Regards, Hallows Aktiengesellschaft (talk) 01:26, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
I deleted it because, you were disruptive and clearly a troll, you refactored talk page comments and what not, in fact HallowsAG was the only user with the guts to actually help me there, Thank you! Prabash.Akmeemana 01:32, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

this is what happened when we liked each other: Need some help? be glad to! Hulkster1 (talk) 10:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC) I don't need any help! Here's something you can do work on your article and make it better, to be honest it looks like a little kid wrote it, and I'm assuming you're 12 years old. Please work on articles and not bother users with questions that you never seem to listen to I can report you, because right now out of your 92 edits, 88 of them are in talk pages, you never seem to listen to anyone! JackFrost2121(Frostbitten?/ My Work) 11:16, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay, what are you getting on to, Hulkster1? Hallows Aktiengesellschaft (talk) 05:28, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
You guys do know JackFrost2121 was my alternate account... Ohh now I remember Hulkster would never stay off my talkpage until I flipped him, and now he won't drop the stick and taunt me with this cheap garbage clearly an unguided 12yr old on the Internet Prabash.Akmeemana 08:41, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I made that up so I could "chase the fly from the rotten meat" now leave me and hallows alone, you are no help to Wikipedia. Prabash.Akmeemana 12:13, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

The Script article

Hi. I am a fan of The Scrpt. I posted in the Talk of the article something. I have something to say. I think -if we want to take it into GA- that we have to focus more to get info of the band, for the albums have their own articles. I think that the 45% of the article lenght if because of the albums sections. What do you think? Ms.Bono(zootalk)☆ 12:50, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

And probably (if the other members are not so relevant as Danny) include a bio of them into the article of The Script. Ms.Bono(zootalk)☆ 12:52, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
That sounds really great. I've only started some research and I think there's loads of info that can be placed in the article. We can put individual sections of the band members too. I'm quite busy starting from next month, but I can probably still do a lot of work on the article. Cheers, Hallows Aktiengesellschaft (talk) 13:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Let me know if you need help. Miss Bono(zootalk)☆ 13:40, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Yes, hey you can help in expanding the article too! I made the WikProject already and maybe you help a bit in designing it. Cheers, Hallows Aktiengesellschaft (talk) 13:42, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
I have Internet problems (I just have access to Wikipedia) so I cannot make the researches by myself. I will check the design of the WP. Miss Bono(zootalk)☆ 13:45, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Maybe you can find some free picts of the band and upload them to Commons. Make sure you give me the names after you've uploaded 'em. Miss Bono(zootalk)☆ 13:55, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Take a look at the WP page. I made some changes. Thoughts?? Miss Bono(zootalk)☆ 14:05, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Hello agian Harlows. I am almost finishing the design of the WP. Take a look and tell me something. Miss Bono(zootalk)☆ 17:49, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Hey! I've looked at it just now and it's great work! I've been looking around for free pictures of the Script (around flickr and stuff), but no luck yet. I'll still try to find some pictures, though. I'm going to expand the article about The Script soon, too. Anyways, keep up the good work. Regards, Hallows AG (talk) 23:46, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Ok! Thanks for the kind words :) Good luck with those pictures. Apparently, The Script takes seriously their Wikipedia article, see the Talk page of the art. Maybe someone can email their manager or something asking for free pictures. Just an idea. I'll work on it. Miss Bono [zootalk]☆ 12:04, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
